Help with Theme

I have it installed on my site transfer-talk.com, but I want the widgets below the main feature (big picture) area to be sort of mini blog pages. So each widget would be for a different sport just as in the demo theme above e.g. NFL, NHL etc and then when I make posts I choose which sport they relate to and they go in these boxes, you can then click the post or box and it will take you to read the full story or the list of stories relating to that sport just as in the demo.

Could anyone help me arrange my layout/widgets as I just do not know where to begin im a complete nooby on wordpress really! Does the above make sense and you can understand what I want the homepage to look like?
